We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for the Latham Family Project Patriarch page. (You don’t have to be a test participant to post your family pedigree.)

There are two ways to make your pedigree available to the project administrator for posting on the Patriarch Page:1. Send the pedigree by email directly to carrie@worldfamilies.net in the simplified form described below(If you send it this way, your pedigree will only be posted on the Patriarch Page, and will not be included in the Pedigree Forum) Be sure to include Email address you wish to be posted with the pedigree Kit number of the project participant whose pedigree this is Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse for each generation (direct male line).

2. Log-in to post your pedigree on the Pedigree Forum.By posting your pedigree on the forum, you are making it available for the Project Administrator to post it on the Patriarch Page, along with your contact information, and kit number (or code identity number).

oProvide the kit number and/or project code identity number if pedigree is for a tested participant

oUse surname with each generation

oDon’t use all caps

oDon’t include anyone whose birthdate is after 1910, for privacy concerns.

oDon’t number the generations

Is this DNA Project still active? I have sent emails to the moderators with one email returned for bad address and the other email unanswered.

I recently received my 37 marker, Y – DNA test results from Ancestry.com and I was interested in joining your Latham DNA project. The instructions regarding how to join the project are rather cryptic on the Family Tree DNA and World Families websites so I’m posting this asking for guidance. It is my understanding that there is some sort of form or format available(?) which will allow me to upload my data to your project.

I looked at Y DNA Results Table posted for your project at url,(http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/latham/results), and upon comparison I found that my DNA results exactly match one of the entries but there is no pedigree posted for that entry. Is a pedigree available for each of the entries with posted DNA results?

I’d appreciate any assistance you could give me regarding joining the Latham Project as well as any information available regarding the entries shown on your Results Table which have no pedigrees posted.

I sent you an email that hopefully will help you out. I attached a table that you can send back to me with your results, and instructions on just how to do that. I did forget to answer your question about whether there is a pedigree that corresponds to each set of results. The answer to that is no, although we do highly encourage everyone to submit a pedigree, some people simply do not do so.

I hope I was able to help, please let me know if I can do anything else!
